[KICKSTARTER] Impact Miniatures offering Heartbreaker miniatures

I just saw this, looks like impact miniatures  has got rights to sell most (all?) of the old line of heartbreaker miniatures. Looks like they will be in spin-cast resin. Nice to see such classics get wider distribution. Not sure how the rights to these things work, considering Ral Partha Europe has been selling them for a few years now?

Great they're releasing those classics again, not too happy with resin instead of metal but ok, modern times  ;).
Will buy a few loose ones, eventually...

Only a few hours left. Mini per buck ratio is good but I think I'll skip that and get some of the Heartbreaker minis IN METAL from RalParthaEurope.

Yep. Me too. Also about a year ago I bought a huge amount of earthen stuff for next to nothing. Like maybe $10 for 50ish minis. Most of them big mounts, giants and trolls.

IM's background is casting miniatures in resin, and I bet the mini's would be 3x as expensive in metal.

I have some of IM's Urban Heroes (?) miniatures in resin, and they're just fine. I believe IM uses Trollcast, and you can see the quality of their miniatures on their website.

Seems I missed this. Would have been nice to pick up a Chaz Elliot knight that i have been hunting for a while. But i can wait a while longer.

Good to see this line reappearing.

Definitely. I'd much prefer to see it in metal though but beggars can't be choosers I guess. I'll be after a few of the Chaos guys. I have a bunch in metal from Ral Partha Europe but want more.

There are some good ones. I recently picked up the chaos warrior who is swinging a mace from a guy on ebay - he fits in very nicely with my chaos warriors of Zuuf.

Shame it's resin or I'd be interested in a few of those.  Some good sculpts (and some...not-so-good)

I've got the mace guy too. My brother used his one as a chaos Lord for WFB
